I would like to know how the Chev roof at the rear is different than a Pontiac?
If the Pontiac and Chevelle use the same front and rear glass how is the Chev different on the top skin?

the Malibu/Chevelle roof is the same, it's the chebby A body sailpanel area, rear window opening and catwalk that are different.

back to the OP, if all you need is a few inches of solid roof from the window channel back, you could source it out of a 4 door roof. Have provided that section before to '66 and '67 owners that spliced the piece into what was their rusty front edged roof.

Agreed the sail panel on a Pontiac is longer(wider) than a Chevelle. Therefore the panel from rear glass to trunk lid is deeper on a Pontiac than on a Chevelle.

Thanks for the info! I've parted dozens of A body cars and have never had one with rust at the top of the windshield before? I have a line on a 67 GTO that's too far gone to restore, so that may be where I get the panel from. I believe you have an interest in its HO engine. I'll send PM's if the deal goes thru.
